Strathcona Community Centre Backpack Program

The SCC Backpack Program provides nutritious snacks and meals to fill the “hunger gap” of the weekend when children are not supported by the school food programs they depend on during the week. This program has been running since November 2010 and has expanded to support over 275 children. Every Friday, children pick up a bag filled with a variety of foods donated by the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society and purchased at local community partners with funding from several charitable sources.
